Purpose: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the leading cause of acute abdomen worldwide, with an incidence of 90-100 cases per 100,000 individuals annually and a lifetime risk of 7-12%.

Objectives: Mid-urethral sling (MUS) insertion is the gold standard approach to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and adaptable single-incision mini-slings (SIMSs) aim to reduce complications. A previous study of our team has found that SIMSs were comparable to transobturator slings in cure rates after 24 months of follow-up. This study aims to compare the rates of cure, complications and re-intervention of both slings over a long-term follow-up of 5 years.

Delayed sternal closures are associated with prolonged lengths of stay and contribute to infection risks and morbidities. At a single-site academic pediatric center, we created an SSI-prevention bundle targeting the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care periods.
